This paper aims to give a quantitative and qualitative literature survey on the Socioeconomic Impact Assessment (SIA) of Solar Energy and PV Technologies. Although there has been an increasing number of research articles on PV and Solar Technologies, how their social impact has been assessed in the literature has not been studied widely. This paper offers a bibliometric and narrative literature review on the socio-economic impact analysis of Solar and PV Technologies. Using a bibliometric approach with the latest analysis tools like Vosviewer and HistCite, illustrations and tabulations of journals, authors, articles, keywords, citations, languages, institutions, and countries are generated from comprehensive Web of Science (WOS) data. The paper highlights the most influential works and authors in the field, emphasize their essential findings on the social impact of solar PV literature and includes recommendations on future action areas. Using qualitative techniques, this paper also discusses the main components of Socio-Economic Impact assessment using Economic Assessment, Environmental Assessment, Health Assessment, Policy Assessment, and other Social Assessment methods used in energy literature and solar energy literature specifically.

Developing CBDR-RC indices for fair allocation of emission reduction responsibilities and capabilities across countries ARİ, Izzet; Sarı, Ramazan (2017-01-01) The aim of this paper is to develop two indices for quantifying common but differentiated responsibilities (CBDR) and respective capabilities (RC) of countries in mitigating climate change. These composite indices can help facilitate fair allocation of GHG emission reduction responsibilities across countries. Indices are formulated by taking into account the economic, environmental, social, and technical indicators of a given country. These indicators are usually highly correlated. An index using these indi...
National patterns of research output and priorities in renewable energy Uzun, A (2002-01-01) This paper attempts to compare the research Output and priorities of 25 major Countries in renewable energy research. The main objective is to assess the research priorities of the major countries in frontier areas subjects of renewable energy using some bibliometric measures based on renewable energy literature. Subjects of high activity and Subjects of low activity are identified for two time periods ( 1996-1997 and 1998 1999). Our findings, show that the output of publications including articles. reviews...
A Policy design model for market formation of solar and wind electricity generation in Turkey Erden Topal, Yelda; Erdil, Erkan; Department of Science and Technology Policy Studies (2016) The aim of this study is to design technology policies for diffusion of solar and wind electricity generation technologies by analyzing the market formation dynamics from the perspective of key actors in the framework of technological innovation system approach. For this purpose, qualitative data is collected through 57 face-to-face semi-structured interviews with the key actors from private and non-private sectors who are engaged in economic activities of electricity generation, regulation of the market, c...
Increasing role of services in competitive power and innovativeness of firms and industrial clusters Eraydın, Ayda (2007-01-01) The aim of this paper is to discuss the importance of different types of global services for industrial firms and clusters in terms of their economic competitiveness and innovative performance. The theoretical debates argue that globalization, deregulation and the new production organization make it necessary to use global services that are supplied easily with the help of new telecommunication technologies. The existing empirical studies provide some supporting evidence. However, they also indicate that gl...
